Jane Muir
Jane Muir’s idiosyncratic hand-painted figures represent a witty and uncluttered observation of the world.
Her charming characters are hand modelled. Their recognisable and individual traits are perhaps due to the freedom of the artist’s chosen medium- she uses clay, allowing her to develop her ideas during the making process. Subtle colour and seductive surface textures are key elements in her work; immensely appealing but never sentimental.Inspiration comes from various sources- from Peter Blake, Eduardo Paolozzi and Elizabeth Frink to more traditional craftwork such as that of the Staffordshire Potters.
